Frequently asked questions
Can my AI write JQL or CQL queries for me automatically?
Yes. AI models are exceptionally good at transforming natural phrases like 'find all high-priority bugs open in project X' into structurally valid JQL (project = X AND priority = High AND status = Open). The same applies to CQL searches in Confluence.
How does the agent handle Confluence pages with heavy formatting or macros?
The integration extracts the core text node data of the page. This guarantees that your AI agent only consumes dense factual text (like code snippets and bullet instructions) without wasting token context on layout elements.
Am I limited to only Jira Software or does this include Jira Service Management?
The unified underlying Atlassian API allows JQL queries across almost all generic issue types within your authorized Domain instance. You can search bugs in Jira Software or service requests residing structurally alongside them equally.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
